NRAO Special Colloquium

Dr. Robert Minchin of the Arecibo Observatory is the guest speaker for a special colloquium at the NRAO. His talk is titled "Chasing the Gas: The Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey." The Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES) is carrying out deep neutral hydrogen observations of different environments in the local universe. Minchin will discuss recent results, including observations of the neutral hydrogen environment of isolated galaxies and of the population of gas clouds around M33. He will also introduce the planned Widefield Arecibo Virgo Extragalactic Survey (WAVES), which will extend AGES-depth coverage to most of the Virgo cluster. 11 a.m. in the auditorium of the Domenici Science Operations Center (NRAO).
